Sergei Prokofiev set to work on his Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16, in 1912 and completed it in 1913. But this concerto is lost; the score was destroyed in a fire following the Russian Revolution. Prokofiev reconstructed and considerably revised the work in 1923, two years after finishing his well-known Third concerto, and declared it to be "so completely rewritten that it might almost be considered () No. 4." Indeed its orchestration has features that clearly postdate the 1921 concerto. Performing as solo pianist, Prokofiev premiered this surviving "No. 2" in Paris on 8 May 1924 with Serge Koussevitzky conducting. It is dedicated to the memory of Maximilian Schmidthof, a friend of Prokofiev's at the St. Petersburg Conservatory who had committed suicide in 1913. ==Movements and Scoring== The work is scored for piano solo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, tambourine and strings. It consists of four movements lasting some 29 to 37 minutes. #''Andantino-Allegretto'' (10–14 minutes) #''Scherzo: Vivace'' (2–3 minutes) #''Intermezzo: Allegro moderato'' (5–9 minutes) #''Finale: Allegro tempestoso'' (10–13 minutes) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piano Concerto No. 2 (Prokofiev)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
